Be Your Own Hero

The lights are out. You're sitting on your front porch on a summer night, sprinkled with stars all across the sky that looks like a gateway into nothingness. People say it's a gateway to heaven but you know better. There's no heaven for a mind like you: always charging at millions of thoughts in one second. Have you been in peace for the last thousand years? What are you waiting on? Is it something that feels like a small ray of hope in a dark abyss that keeps your heart throbbing , asking for life as you sprint your way through emotional freedom? Don't wait on them.... Don't be trapped in the evil sorcery of the mind that diminishes the light in you. Darling, you shine. Don't let the thoughts of someone you don't even speak to, pull strings at your laughter and tears , because clearly, would you let anyone you talk everyday to have this control over you? We were taught from the beginning that life is not a bed of roses. But sometimes you have to pick out the thorns from the bed by yourself to make yourself more comfortable. Eliminate whatever is pricking you, making you bleed or not letting you sleep at night. Because honey, you, are in charge of yourself. You are the reason you smile.
